That was the same for me. I didn’t realise I had high anxiety especially around people interaction. I just went with what people told me, that I’m introverted. It took me way too long to figure this out and I only did so because my anxiety was getting worse and about more things. Once I was on medication I realised holy shit, I needed this like 20 years ago!
I’m now able to join clubs, meet in large groups. But like you it’s now a choice. I generally do the social thing then leave or take some time out when batteries are low.
- Comment on Apartment blocks causing issues for UK fiber broadband 6 days ago:
That happened to me, but it’s a block in the town centre. Houses next door, full on broadband. Flat, nope. BT lines. Connection wasn’t very stable. I gave up on it and bought a 5G broadband hub. It works amazing.

He sits down in his old local pub and catches up with old mates after finally completing his journey. His mate Dave points out that he completely missed Africa. Off he goes again.

That’s the big word I couldn’t remember. I didn’t know apples were the same but that really makes sense now.

I listened to a podcast recently about potatoes. The ones in Europe are all one species. They can’t grow variants from seeds because they have 4 chromosomes which means growing from seeds doesn’t give the same variant. They are basically clones. If a variant is lost it cannot be brought back, it’s gone for good.
I never knew how interesting potatoes are!

Thank you. I thought it was a NAS device. I was wondering what the hype was about.

Had similar many years ago. Was about 3am on a country road. Thought there was a cyclist. Why the fuck is there a cyclist in the middle of no where at this time of night. Slowed way down to a crawl as I as approached. It was a red reflector on a post outside a farm house.

He’s probably happy to accept the sentence and get all this shoved behind him. I bet if the police had looked deeper at other online activities and his pc his term would be much longer.

Are you lonely? Do you want a solution for loneliness? The answer is here. Join a neo-nazi online chatroom posing as a 16 year old boy. It makes sense, perfectly reasonable and not suspicious in any way what so ever.

I wish somebody did shove that old cunt into that suit like somebody trying to stuff a sleeping bag into the carry bag it can’t in. the trauma would be unreal.

They provided some insight to why they think MS didn’t comment. Then agreed with you. I don’t think they were defending MS.
- Comment on 3 Outdoor broadband hub UK 2 months ago:
I didn’t know they did an outdoor hub. I’ve been using a Three 5G broadband hub for a few years. I bought my own Pointing external antenna and connected it to the hub. It works well. The antenna boosts the signal significantly (I forget how much exactly).
The issue I have isn’t the hub or antenna, it’s Three themselves. Quite often the 5G gets slow, as in unusably slow. The signal is strong so I assume it’s an issue with their masta or over subscribed. It doesn’t happen as much these days though.
Because I was unsure when I first wanted one I opted for a monthly contract and not a year. It allowed me to test how well it works before cancelling my existing broadband.

- Comment on Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger 3 months ago:
I totally agree. I have a legal ebike and make sure I’m safe and within the law. I don’t want to risk my driving license, or injuring anybody.
Ebikes are generally a lot heavier than a normal push bikes. The stopping distance is terrible especially down a hill. If I were to go at high speeds on it then it would be very dangerous. I should think top-end ebike have good brakes but most of the cheaper one, such as mine, do not. I am keen on upgrading the brakes though.
- Comment on Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger 3 months ago:
They can throw the book at these illegal ebike riders. Unregistered moped, no insurance, no MOT, dangerous vehicle (by means of no MOT to prove otherwise).

Reed admitted that at a police station, in front of colleagues, he had pulled down the officer’s trouser zip, inserted his hand and touched his penis before shouting ‘it’s a small one’.
Later says it was just banter!!
I wonder what the situation was. If someone touches my zip I would instantly pull backwards.
